This privately guided excursion from Mexico City will take you to some beautiful colonial towns and the 'Silver City' of Taxco.

Day 1: Mexico City > Cuernavaca > Taxco
You will be collected from your Mexico City hotel or the airport and travel through lovely mountain scenery into the neighbouring valley to Cuernavaca, known as the 'City of Eternal Spring'. In Cuernavaca enjoy a short stop to see the Palacio de Cortes, Cuernavaca's Cathedral and the former archbishops house, which houses Robert Brady's collection of architecture, handicraft and artwork.

Then you will continue driving into the mountains of southern Sierra Madre to reach Mexico's traditional silver city, Taxco. Enjoy a walk here through the picturesque historical town settled on several hills and see a beautiful baroque church in the centre.

Winding lanes will lead you to Borda's main square, where you enter Taxco's House of Culture and the Christian Church. You will also have some time to explore the traditional silver market and galleries. Then transfer to the lovely Pueblo Lindo Hotel situated in the heart of Taxco's historical centre.
